The plastic surgery addict was originally said to have walked out of the house after Natalie Nunn's eviction, however, now Channel 5 have confirmed that he was actually removed from the Elstree compound after just nine days inside.

Stating the news on Twitter, CBB wrote: "After a further incident, Rodrigo has been removed from the Big Brother House and will not be returning. #CBB".

OK! Online have contacted representatives of CBB and Rodrigo for comment.

News of Rodrigo's removal comes after he initially insisted he "quit" the show, according to The Sun.

He told the publication: "I’m no longer interested in the show or anything to do with it. Simply because it wasn’t for me."

Claiming that despite the light hearted nature of the situation, Rodrigo overstepped the mark and could have made the Married At First Sight star uncomfortable, many viewers argued the socialite had to go.

One fan complained: "They should remove Rodrigo from #CBB not being funny but if a guy went up to one of the women and said move your hand so I can see your vagina while they were naked in the bath they'd be out in an instant. Why is consent and harassment ok for a gay guy?"

While another added: "So if instead of Ben being naked in the bath with 3 women ogling him, it’s was a young women and 3 men, how much outrage would there be? #CBB".

"On Big Brother of old, Rodigo would have been removed from the house in an instant. Channel 5 do not care about the feelings of people, minorities or anything like that - they care about causing a "shock" reaction and column inches," another angry viewer wrote after the scenes aired.
